The battleships that were carrying out the escort mission had their shields depleted under the enemy's ferocious attacks and had no choice but to retreat from the frontlines. After these astounding battleships turned and retreated, the Avengers finally woke up from their daze. They realized that we were the only team that was charging towards the surface despite the bombardment was the real mastermind. Furthermore, we were much harder to deal with than they had expected.
The cannons that were almost ten times fiercer than before instantly blanketed the space around us. It was hard to imagine that after such a long and cruel battle, the enemy still had so much firepower to divert. It seemed that it wasn't the captain's fault that all the spaceships that attempted to land were repelled. The enemy had really gone through a lot of trouble to prevent us from landing.
A dazzling blue and white sparks brushed past the side of the spaceship, forming a distorted arc. It was obvious that Big Sister's power had forcefully changed its trajectory. Even though it wasn't a direct hit, the attack from the battleship's main cannon still caused the spaceship to shake violently. Lin, who was sitting at the back, subconsciously pinched the armrest of her seat.
"The cannons are very concentrated."
My older sister glanced outside. Her voice was extremely calm, and she even had a faint smile on her face. However, I knew that my older sister was the scariest of them all. She had already activated her power. The only reason we were able to continue charging forward despite the enemy's full firepower was thanks to her power of reversing misfortune. Now, the endless barrage of firepower outside had finally annoyed her. I felt that something truly unfortunate was about to begin.
As expected, Big Sister casually took out a few pieces of white paper from her bosom. Under the fearful gazes of everyone, she quickly drew a picture of Shakyamuni with her enchanting handwriting. Then, she raised her hand and signaled to the royal guards who were on standby at the cabin door. "Throw these things out. Don't worry about them anymore."
It's just a few pieces of white paper with a bunch of circles drawn on it. From the outside, it looks very ordinary. However, I know that elder sister's fearsomeness increases as the number of circles increases. Just look at that piece of paper, it's just like Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V. I don't even dare to imagine what kind of consequences it would cause if two spearmen were to grab it and bring it to the streets.
Soon, a few pieces of white paper with strong curses were thrown outside the spaceship. Big Sister did not say that they had to hit the enemy. She only said that they had to throw them out, so the soldiers on the spaceship faithfully carried out the order. The white paper was made of the same material as normal paper. The moment they left the cabin door, they immediately turned to ash. The Avengers' firepower was everywhere outside. Even though they did not hit the hull, the heat radiation caused the temperature outside the spaceship to reach thousands of degrees. The normal white paper turned into carbides on the spot after they left the spaceship.
The cannons around them instantly lessened. Then, more than a dozen Vengeance Army interceptors that were aiming at the spaceship suddenly accelerated. They were originally stationary in space, but in just three to five seconds, they turned on their engines like they were on steroids, and their bodies were overloaded as they ran out of sight.
"What the hell — where are they going?"
Icetis scratched her head in confusion. She patted Big Sister's shoulder and asked, "Chen Qian, did you give them drugs?"
"Rush to the end of their lives. I want some peace and quiet." Big Sister's bangs covered half of her face. She wore a faint smile that made one's heart flutter. "It's not a curse, it's a blessing. I wish them a smooth journey and that their path will never be obstructed …" Big Sister didn't say anything else.
The dense firepower of the enemy greatly hindered the speed of the formation's advancement. Since the entire formation had to rely on the [Reversal Calamity Halo] to preserve their lives, no one dared to leave the formation. While maintaining the formation, we continued to advance under such dense firepower. I almost suspected that I was the male lead in a Chinese war movie. Fortunately, the escort team had helped to divert most of the firepower away from the area where the enemy was the most concentrated. The pressure that we were enduring had yet to reach the limits of the [Reversal Calamity Halo]. The blurry horizon of Planet Brown Earth had already turned from a semi-circle into an arc. We were about to enter low-Earth orbit.
This d * mned turbulent journey was about to come to an end.
The ambush fleet passed through the blockade line of concentrated firepower with great difficulty. In the process, Monina used the projection of the enemy ships on the porthole to activate Shadow Snipe. She successfully cut two interceptors that were attempting to self-destruct in half. We were like white pigeons that Wu Yusen threw out, safe and sound in the rain of bullets. The commander of the Vengeance Army must have been having a headache over the inconceivable landing force in front of him. He would never have imagined that the Empire's ordinary fighter aircrafts and assault ships would have the mobility and defense of a mothership that were not inferior to the speed probes. How could a normal army require the highest commander to personally land and fight? Even if the highest commander were to personally fight, how many of them could tie a God of War to the bow of their ship as a damage controller?
Actually, this was also the reason why Sandora was able to let us personally take part in the landing battle. Under the protection of a large group of Commander-level Apostles and five True Gods, as long as we were careful and didn't face the bombardment of the enemy's main galactic cannons, it wouldn't be too difficult for us to pass through the blockade line. If the enemy didn't use suicidal tactics to stop us from landing, I even suspected that we would be able to safely land on Planet Brown Earth even if we sat in a washing machine …
At this moment, from the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw that the rear observation device had captured a dozen enemy targets that were moving at high speed. They swept past the synchronous orbit but didn't launch any attacks. They were like bystanders on the battlefield. I immediately became curious about these strange enemy ships. After some simple image processing, I recognized their appearances. They were the enemy ships that had just left. They had circled around Planet Brown Earth so quickly. This was the second time!
"They can forget about stopping their engines for the rest of their lives!"
Big Sister raised her head, her face radiant with a smile.
Everyone shuddered at the same time and resolutely decided that they would never anger Big Sister ever again.
I could only chuckle foolishly. This was what made Big Sister truly speechless when she was scheming. Her tricks to torment people were far worse than her methods of killing enemies. It wasn't that she was cruel, but that she made people suffer. In fact, Big Sister's scheming was often more like an extremely nasty joke that would torment you to the point of death. Although Shallow Shallow's second personality made people shudder, at least she would execute her orders immediately. Big Sister, on the other hand, was rarely so straightforward. She would usually cast an extremely long-lasting curse. Before she was done with it, no one would be able to escape from the curse. That was why being shot wasn't scary. What was scary was the few seconds it took to load a gun. Shallow Shallow's habit was to change to a larger caliber bullet before being shot. Big Sister's hobby was to extend the few seconds it took to load a gun to a lifetime — the person that she had her eyes on was definitely unlucky.
"Entering the atmosphere."
The main computer on the spaceship let out a monotonous notification. Other than the turbid clouds that suddenly appeared outside the porthole and the distortion of the air due to the high temperature, everyone didn't feel anything else. After escaping from the enemy's blockade, we entered the stable landing phase. Ten seconds after entering the atmosphere, the landing troops left the range of the Vengeance Army's gravity trap. The dozen spaceships that had barged in immediately activated a space jump according to plan and approached the surface.
"It's safe down there. There's no anti-air firepower."
Icetis looked down from the porthole and said in a professional tone. The moment she finished her sentence, dozens of blinding white lights pierced through the air, narrowly brushing past the landing ships and disappearing into the turbid sky of Planet Brown Earth.
If it wasn't for Big Sister's cautiousness in maintaining Reverse Misfortune, even if we were fine, the landing ships that were carrying ordinary soldiers behind us would have been turned into sieves.
Everyone looked at Icetis sternly. This female rogue tossed her hair and announced without any guilt, "Actually, I don't know what anti-aircraft cannons are …"
The landing troops dodged the anti-aircraft fire from below at high altitudes. I turned back to look at a certain blonde girl who was obediently sitting on a chair like a little student who had made a mistake. "Lynn, go and take care of the anti-aircraft position below."
Lynn looked up blankly. Just as she was about to ask something, Icetis picked her up and sent her to the back of the cabin. A few seconds later, a two-headed giant dragon that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws frantically appeared below the formation.
"I kicked her down. That idiot. She didn't dare to leave the cabin unless she was flying on flat ground. She didn't even know how to use her wings after I kicked her down." Icetis mumbled as she returned to the cockpit. We sweated profusely. Which normal Dragon God would specially train to parachute! Also, how many Dragon Gods do you think have the experience to fly after being kicked out of the cabin?
Although the process was a mess, Lynn still completed the task that we gave her. After a routine landing in her mouth and an earth-shattering S-shaped roll, the hundred-meter-long Golden Dragon smashed through almost 60% of the anti-aircraft cannons. The rest were flattened by the bricks that Icetis threw down from the sky and our anti-aircraft fire. Finally, a safe landing zone was cleared.
Of course, I still have to explain that the anti-aircraft cannons created by the Shiring Apostles were actually very sturdy. They also had a psionic shield that could withstand a few hits. If it was just Lynn's weight (Isn't it too rude to be a girl?), falling from a high altitude might not necessarily destroy them. Falling from a high altitude might not necessarily destroy them. It was like a big iron ball smashing into a soft mixture of sand and stones. Although it could create a big hole, it might not necessarily destroy the solid stones mixed inside. Actually, those anti-aircraft cannons were destroyed by Lynn's subconscious scratching. She was in pain from the cannons that kept popping out from her stomach. Thus, she tossed and turned as hard as she could. That girl was really too strong.
The landing ship landed steadily in the midst of the smoking ruins. When we stepped onto the scorched land, the pungent smell that rushed into my nostrils made me frown. It wasn't just the sour smell of the ionized air after the anti-aircraft cannons exploded. There were also a few extremely concentrated chemicals in the atmosphere of Planet Brown Earth. They didn't have much effect on health, but they smelled terrible. It was no wonder that even though a few years of mining here was enough for a beggar to become a middle-class person, there were still very few people willing to stay here for long.
The sound of mechanical friction echoed behind me. Vega led her Scorpion Soldiers and jumped off the transport ship. The rugged rubble and twisted metal on the ground did not affect the balance of these six-legged sisters. They quickly divided into several groups according to the plan and guarded the surroundings. The Ravens rose into the air and opened a huge arcane barrier to guard against any sudden attacks.
Sandora's voice came through the mental link, "Ah Jun, I detected that your spaceship has shut down. What's the situation?"
"It's a safe landing. The intercepting firepower is really strong," I looked around at the terrible environment and couldn't help but mutter. "It seems that there's something wrong with the coordinates we've detected. When we landed, we were in the range of the enemy's anti-aircraft cannons. But it seems that it was just a temporary firing point set up by the Avengers. It has been cleared."
"It's a safe landing," Sandora sounded relieved. "I'm afraid that the space battle will continue for a while. The enemy actually carried a large number of Avengers. They only released them after you broke through the atmosphere, causing some trouble."
Avengers?
I suddenly thought of the female war puppets that wore blood-red thin armor and used suicidal attacks to burst with shocking combat power. I didn't expect the enemy to even use such soldiers. But when I remembered that the enemy was Sandora's trump card in the past, it was normal for such units to appear. I was only surprised for a moment. Hearing Sandora's relaxed tone, it was likely that even if the enemy released the Avengers, they would not be able to turn the situation around.
I looked at the Information Terminal in my hand. The data on it was a little messy. The Avengers might have set up some interference nearby. Their positioning was not accurate.
"Where should we go now?"
"Put a teleporter in place. I will send more soldiers over," Sandora said hurriedly. "Then, head towards the magnetic north pole. It's about 70 kilometers away. The enemy's ground troops have been gathering in that direction. Be careful, your concealment device might have failed. I found a wave of enemies approaching you. "
"… The Scorpions seem to have found it too."
The moment Sandora's communication ended, all the Armored Scorpions suddenly pulled out their swords nervously and took a defensive stance towards the east. In that direction, the psionic reaction was gradually increasing.
Shadow flames began to rise from Raven's hands. The Leader Bee opened up its Crystal-Metal Bladed Cannon, which was shining with a cold light. These heroic warriors, who were experts in aerial combat, cautiously rose into the air, ready to face any long-range attacks that might come. Even Bryndis had his arrow nocked and was ready to attack. However, the first one to attack was Vega, who was beside me.
Sister Scorpion waved her sword abruptly. When the sharp blade returned to her side, there was a sharp buzzing sound and the ear-piercing sound of metal cutting. At the same time, the space beside her distorted. It seemed to be the precursor of a dimensional jump, but the distortion stopped abruptly halfway. The upper body of a Special Forces soldier wearing blood-red light armor appeared in the air. Blinding blue and white lightning burst from the enemy's waist, and half of his body disappeared.
Veigar's attack was only a signal. The other Armored Scorpions followed up with a series of continuous slashes. Every time their sharp blades slashed, the air would distort as though they were jumping through space and time. Every time the distortion stopped halfway, a Frenzied Avenger would appear. Very quickly, I understood what was going on and exclaimed in astonishment, "F * ck!"
The Armored Scorpions' powerful close combat instincts and monstrous reflexes proved their worth. They would attack the instant the enemy made a spatial jump, and before we could even see the enemy, they would be able to sense the weakness of the enemy that was about to appear next to us. Then, with a single slash, nine out of ten slashes would kill an unlucky enemy.
"The Armored Scorpions are the kings of close-combat," Vega said proudly as he looked at the Ravens floating in the air. "And in close-combat, dealing with the enemy's dimensional jump attack is a compulsory course because it is the most difficult long-range attack to dodge. Under the influence of strict training and natural close-combat talent, every Armored Scorpion has developed an unparalleled intuition. We can sense every dimensional jump that happens around us, and before the enemy appears, we can determine the best point of attack … "
Raven 001 randomly threw a few Arcane Missiles into the distance. Suddenly, she smirked and looked down at the smug Armored Scorpion captain. "I know the principle: under the same computing speed, the person with the shortest nerves has the fastest reaction …"
I swear this was one of the most insulting words I have ever heard in my life. Vega was so angry that his tail straightened. He aimed at the Ravens in the sky and slapped them hard. The air echoed with rhythmic slapping sounds …
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded not far away. It seemed that after the enemy discovered the existence of the Armored Scorpions, they gave up on the suicidal method of dimensional jumps and began to bombard us from afar. The Ravens immediately launched a counterattack. Arcane Missiles interweaved in the air to form a net of firepower that was not inferior to the bombardment of the fleet, covering the enemy's position. A series of explosions rose from the distant horizon. The shock wave caused the earth to tremble slightly and smoke filled the air.
With the strength of the few of us here, the Avengers' ground troops should not be a threat to us in a short period of time. But our main purpose of landing was not to fight the enemy, but to find out the enemy's movements on this planet. This could not be achieved with just a few super soldiers. Even if the five Protoss Cops could single-handedly defeat the Avengers on the planet, it would be useless. Therefore, after using the Holy Light Arrow to suppress the enemy's firepower, Icetis immediately shouted, "Where is the teleportation device? Hurry up and activate it! "
At the same time, Sandora's reminder came through the mental link. "Ah Jun, hurry up and activate the teleportation device. There is a large wave of enemies approaching you!"
A large wave? Is there a large wave of zombies on the lawn?
This was the powerful mobility of Schilling's army. In a global battle, as long as one point issued an emergency summon, the entire world's military forces could be transferred in less than ten minutes. This was a power that should have struck fear into the hearts of the enemies, but now it was hovering above our heads. The mothership had tried its best to suppress the communication signals between the Avengers on Planet Brown Earth. But now it seemed that the suppression effect was very limited.
"Leader Bee state switch," Olga, who had not participated in the battle since the beginning, suddenly said in a low voice. "Activate teleportation device state — Beacon Leader Bee …"
